Spurs pay Patty Mills near $50mil, Cleveland gets Rose for $2mil. I would have let Mills walk and signed Rose for $2mil if I was running the Spurs, lol.
I haven't been on the D-Rose bandwagon this summer. But I would have been if I realized he could've been attained so cheaply. He signed for only 1 yr / $2.1 M. Seeing others' thoughts on this....

I think he was probably getting offers in the MLE range and probably 1yr deals...
He's coming off ANOTHER knee surgery..
He took about 6M-7M less to hopefully play in the Finals and restablish himself..
Really just shows how far he's fallen tbh
Yea, that's what I was thinking; get a ring and/or make the finals and sign for much more than any other multi-year contract would have paid this time around. No doubt, he took the cheapest amount to play with Cleveland. But this tells me that he was available to the Spurs pretty cheap, nonetheless.
I don't think the Mills contract is bad by current NBA standards. If we had let Patty leave, we may have suffered greatly from a lack of scoring/shooting in the interim, too.
implying Rose was even interested in playing here, they probably contacted and he probably declined.
Another missed opportunity: Op's mom not going through abortion...
Paddy and the front office said we good
for that money not bad but he's damaged goods
D rose is washed up. Thank goodness we didn't sign him.
Dude got desperate thinking he wouldn't get signed, time was running out. That's why he signed for so little.
Good news is dude can't ever stay healthy, it's a risk for the Cavs and would have been a risk for the Spurs but yes for $2mil would have been less risky.
Lakers didn't 9ffer him a contract. Bucks didn't. Knicks didn't. Twolves didn't. Why should we?
Hum...just no.
I'd say Tyreke Evans and Willie Reed for the price.
For 2 mil he is a decent 3rd string... Especially seeing the Patty contract
I'm really surprised he went for so cheap, even with his injuries.
Cos we're a contender that desperately needs an alpha PG.
Rose just got paid $2 million to play 50 games and miss the playoffs entirely. If the Cavs get to the Finals, he'll be in street clothes on crutches.
Although D Rose is washed and a s of his former self. He managed to stay relatively healthy compared to his standards. He had played and started on average 65 games the last 2 years.
I don't care too much about it but the Spurs turned him down:

Rose tried hard to get top Western Conference teams to sign him -- the San Antonio Spurs, the LA Clippers -- but those teams passed. Milwaukee Bucks head coach Jason Kidd had interest, but the Los Angeles Lakers and Cavaliers eventually made offers. Teams drafted point guards (Lakers, Dallas Mavericks, Philadelphia 76ers), and re-signed starters (Toronto Raptors and New Orleans Pelicans) and found veterans on the market (Sacramento Kings and Minnesota Timberwolves). When his old Bulls coach, Minnesota's Tom Thibodeau, chose Jeff Teague over Rose, it felt as if the market had bottomed out on him.
No one imagined this dramatic of a drop in the marketplace. Eventually, the Lakers wanted Rose to play behind Lonzo Ball, and be a mentor. Rose lives in L.A. in the summers, and loves Southern California, but he didn't want to imagine another losing season. Once James and coach Ty Lue became involved in the Cleveland conversations, Rose had a better idea about how it would work for him. In the end, the Cavaliers had interest regardless of the Irving cir stances, league sources said.
Maybe. But the move definitely seems to be an optimistic one (as this is more like an $8 mil move with the luxury tax the Cavs have to pay). Deron Williams is clearly done. That he even played significant minutes in The Finals show how desperate Cleveland was for PG play.
More of developing our young talents instead than anything else. It's the Spurs way.
